Joined November 2025
Fast branding workshop to design a full visual identity using moodboards, color palettes, typography, logos, AI tools
Design a complete visual identity in just a few hours with a practical fast branding workflow. In this course, you will learn how to translate a branding brief into a cohesive mini brand identity using design tools, AI assistants, and efficient decision making.
You will start by building a strategic mood board in Kittl and defining the creative direction for a fictional brand, Sunwave Supply. Then you will create a minimal color palette with Coolors, develop a clear typographic system using Fontjoy and Google Fonts, and design a simple, versatile logo in Affinity. Along the way, you will use ChatGPT to refine brand statements, generate concept ideas, and support your creative process.
By the end, you will assemble everything into a compact, presentation-ready brand kit that includes logo, color palette, typography, visual references, and a brand statement. This fast branding methodology is ideal for graphic design, logo design, brand strategy, personal branding, client proposals, and practice projects, and it can be adapted to Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, or other design software.
